Bengals should have between 50 and 70 mil to spend next offseason plus up to 9 mil in carryover from this year. Chase is already on the cap at 22 mil for his 5th year option so an extension, even at 35 mil per year won't eat up too much of the space. Bengals are unlikely to do it but could easily afford to add a 20 mil player, a 15 mil player and a 10 mil player in free agency to our defense, then throw some early draft picks there too and rebuild it.

October 11, 2024Oct 11 comment_1768021 Piece by Dehner in The Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5835035/2024/10/11/bengals-defense-week-6-anarumo/ My objective this week was to talk to people from different perspectives of the Bengals conversation who know ball. I specifically chased the answer to three questions about the Cincinnati defense: What is the biggest problem, how would you fix it and is this salvageable? The knowers of ball: • Brian Baldinger: NFL Network analyst, called Bengals against the Chiefs and Ravens on radio and is a 13-year NFL veteran as an offensive lineman. • Diante Lee: The Ringer NFL/CFB analyst with specific expertise in defense. • Dave Lapham: Bengals radio color analyst for nearly four decades. • Steve Palazzolo: Co-host “Check The Mic” on 33rd Team, analytics background, formerly of “PFF NFL Show.” • Lou Anarumo: Bengals defensive coordinator. • Hilton and Logan Wilson: Defensive veterans from the Super Bowl/AFC Championship Game run and current starters. What is this defense’s biggest problem? Lapham: Up front, they are just not getting off blocks. They are getting locked up and staying locked up. They aren’t aggressively getting off blocks well enough and they are getting moved out of there. It doesn’t look to me like they are making a lot of mental errors in terms of lining up in the wrong gap or evacuating a gap on their own. They are getting moved. That’s an issue. Lee: This defensive line has taken a definitive step back. Losing DJ Reader is a big piece of that. Having B.J. Hill in and out of the lineup has been a piece of that. Sam Hubbard looks like he’s not as productive right now as in years past. That’s left Trey Hendrickson on an island in terms of trying to get to the quarterback. That’s been a big issue for them all year long is seeing Trey Hendrickson play his ass off and getting a pressure but not really affecting the quarterback because the rest of the pocket is clean. much more at the link

IIRC the "meat" of Joe's contract numbers starts next year too.

Hell if all we did was add Sauce Garder we would be in much better shape. Add DJ Reed in the offseason and find another DE, and maybe another DT or S and we can get back to being at least a mid level defense.
October 11, 2024Oct 11 comment_1768033 Why is a team that's supposed to be in a Super Bowl window carrying over cap space when they've already got $50M+ coming off the books next year? What are they saving up for?

When they will have $50M or more to spare. The continual poor-mouthing from this FO is ridiculous. Their franchise is a fucking nepotism factory and everyone knows it.
October 11, 2024Oct 11 comment_1768049 Still no reason not to add back a productive Tee. I will never buy the “not enough money” bullshit

What are they saving up for? Take a look at some numbers. They are middle of the pack. 20 Teams have more cap space. And the Bengals are lowest in dead cap space. So, I'm thinking two things: First, the Family Brown is conservative in business practice (something we all know) and second, that's just the way the numbers shake out this year. Next year it'll be another, similar number. Compare it to other years and you see a pattern.
